Bow the Knee

When I was in the 8th grade, the high school choir at Windsor Hills Baptist School sang a song that I absolutely fell in love with. I still find myself singing it all the time, almost thirteen years later. It never fails that when I start to stress about things and let worry get the best of me, that God reminds me of this song and where I need to be in the midst of all this worry, and that is on my knees. I don't know that I'm necessarily stressed, but I've had a lot of things on my mind the last few days and this song keeps coming to mind. Since it's always such a blessing to me, I thought perhaps if I shared it, it would be a blessing to someone else as well.

BOW THE KNEE

There are moments on our journey following the LordBow the knee;

Where God illumines every step we take.

There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us,

As we try to understand each move He makes.

When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

Bow the knee;

Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.

Bow the knee;

Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.

And when you don’t understand the purpose of His plan,

In the presence of the King, bow the knee.

There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall,

The cold and lonely winds won’t cease to blow.

And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel;

We are tempted to believe God does not know.

When the storms arise, don’t forget we live by faith and not by sight.

Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.
